Creating my first bathtub in my bathroom was a journey filled with excitement and a touch of uncertainty. There is something initial about everything, and I was determined to turn my vision into reality.
I had envisioned a unique and elegant vanity, so I spent the entire day working on it. Using all the scrap wood I had on hand, I started building a cabinet box to give the vanity its shape. Using leftover wood from previous projects, this was the cheapest piece of white oak furniture I’ve ever made myself. I can’t believe it turned out this way!
The real magic happened when I decided to use ribbed white oak for the exterior. This ribbed effect was created from leftover tongue and groove pieces from my exterior roof project, adding a beautiful texture to the vanity. It’s the perfect custom look I wanted!
Finally, I installed the doors and added the same detailed border, tying the whole piece together.
The result? A stunning white oak vanity that not only serves its purpose, but also adds a touch of elegance to my bathroom. It’s crazy what one piece of furniture can do to a room! This project taught me that with patience and creativity, even leftover materials can be transformed into something truly special.
